KAMPALA: The 2017 Best Ugandan Female Deejay, DJ Xzyl a.k.a Franchesca Nyakaisiki, is looking to a hyped Christmas for her fans in a triple mixtape offer.
She announced the offer in a video ad this week, posted here.
“I am looking at releasing mixtapes in a more hyped way because we invest time and effort among others but we never really see that appreciation reciprocated,” she tells MediaScape News.
Famed as one of the most prolific female DJs in the country, DJ Xzyl says she has put together three mixtapes for everyone who has been part of her journey in order that they enjoy the festive season.
Dubbed on hashtag #Festpack21, the DJ who walked down the aisle last September, says there is something for every category of fans.
On the package, there is the ‘Afro Journey 4,’ Mixtape, the ‘Afro Feels 1,’ Mixtape and the ‘Millenials Love Story,’ Mixtape.
She says the Festive season is about everyone, so the varied choice of music is just so everyone can be taken care of in the house
Describing the three packs, Dj Xzyl says the Afro journey 4 is a continuation of her exploration of worldwide music but in an afro manner, “So even the kids will love something on this mix.”
The Afro feels is just adult stuff “and all love pack but in an afro groovy sensual way.”
The Millenials Love Story is for the young and hippy, “the songs we used to mime and all.”
So when is this all going to be dropping? We ask her:
“This is going to be dropping on Friday, December 10. All you need to do is send through your emails in the comments sections of all my social media handles, and you will have a great Christmas package free of hustle,” she promises.
